Culturonda® Wine
Culturonda® Wine is divided into twelve points with three experience tips, introducing the variety of the South Tyrolean wine world.
Anyone interested in culture and wine, as well as newcomers to this area have found a guide, which clearly and quickly leads you to the highlights of South Tyrolean wine history and its wine agriculture.
Wine experience
3,000 years of South Tyrolean wine prove that the valuable grape juices have always inspired wine lovers. Take the Romans, for example, who transported wine in then unknown, wooden barrels with an iron ring to the courts of the Roman emperor. Or the Franconia and Bavarian cloisters, which bought one wine-growing estate after the other in South Tyrol. Even under Austrian rule, South Tyrolean wine cultivation was supported for more than 600 years.
Culturonda® Wine describes more than just the past, grapes and wine cultivation. It also shows places and opportunities, where wine and wine culture can be practically experienced. For example along the South Tyrolean Wine Road, at the wine village of Kaltern, through its quality campaign wein.kaltern or along the various wine teaching trails.
Wine-growing estates, as well as wine masters are introduced - not only those who produce exquisite wines, but also those who are able to set wine into context - be it through brave, modern architecture or through old and contemporary art. Over the past few years, a number of popular architects have created true wine temples, while artists transformed these buildings, cellars and labels into something extraordinary.
When you speak of wine, the fountain of joy, health and beauty, it is absolutely clear that this also requires good cuisine to keep it company. The kitchen and cellar form a very enjoyable liaison. The best example is the wine-growing estate in Terlan, where they don't only produce asparagus wine, but also market the Terlan asparagus itself. Or the old autumn custom of ‘Törggelen‘, where people walk, drink wine and eat some good traditional farming specialities at the same time.
The 12th and last point of Culturonda® wine takes you after a short excursion into the world of legends, into the fascinating kingdom of senses: wine should be tasted, experienced and enjoyed. There are numerous possibilities to do this all around the South Tyrolean wine country, but it is a particularly pleasant experience at guided wine cellar tours, walking tours through vineyards and special wine tasting events.
